Assign a color to a department code

You might want to differentiate the appearance of courses on a student's schedule based on department. You do this by assigning a color to a department code.

To assign a color to a department code:

1. Log on to the District or School view.

   Note: Assigning a color to a department code in the District view affects all schools in the district, unless overridden in the School view with a different color assignment.

2. Select Schedule > Courses.
3. On the Courses side-tab, click Department Codes.
4. For each Department Code, click the rectangle in the Color column. The Color Chooser appears:

5. 

5. Click a color, and then click OK. The color appears in the Department Code's color rectangle.

   Notes: If no color is assigned to department codes, Aspen will assign a random color by section. In the Color Chooser, colors already selected are grayed out. Multiple courses with the same Department Code will show different shades of the Department Code color on student schedules.
